    Can’t help wondering how many stone cold rapists and paedophiles are out there pretending to be ICE and kidnapping people.

    IIRC, that happened a few months ago, not now. A lot of schools are out for the summer already anyway. School staff did a great job of making the feds fuck off.

    This would make me go nuclear.

    Kidnapping our kids?

    You want a primal reaction? This will fast track it.

      They do want that reaction. They’re provoking normal people into violence to allow them to show an emergency and thus bring in the entire army

        Yeah, but the answer can’t be inaction. We need to start the dialog on when we know we have each other’s back when it’s our turn to match their aggression.

        We can’t be so afraid of what they might do next that it is a dialog terminating cliche. We can’t let them win here.

        They are taking our children now. We aren’t taking their children, but I think we need to know when destroying their cars is okay with you (collective you, those that fear what happens next)

          Gold standard:

          Be able to draw from concealment and hit a 6” steel circle at 10 yards in under 1.5 seconds. Every time, 10 draws in a row.

          Ensure you can perform an elpresidente stage run in 6.5 seconds with all hits in the alpha scoring zone.

          You can perform a fast drill in under 7 seconds, 3 times in a row back to back.

          Your splits at 7 yards are under 2 tenths.

          Your draw, shoot, reload, shoot on a 7 yard 6” steel plate is under 2.5 seconds. 10 times in a row.

          Amateurs train until they get it right. Professionals train until they can’t get it wrong.

          You always fall in the moment to the level of your training, so absolutely train if you decide to arm yourself. Otherwise you have given someone in power the ability to take lethal force from you and use it against you, or worse, you have misapplied it and harmed someone you did not intend to.

    America is completely and utterly fucked. There’s obviously no way Trump will run for president for a third term, but under the new fascist state, there isn’t a constitution to contest for said third term. He’ll be leader until death.

    But hey, thank your stupid god that you believe in so firecely that you’ve got that second amendment in your constitution you so adamantly demanded you need for times just like this to have your guns to use and overthrow your tyrannical government. Oh wait. Right; you’re all fucking bark and no bite.

        I dunno… I like having my tools for stopping fascist threats against my person and my fellow trans community

        Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater

        Criminals will manufacture weapons regardless, just look at the freedom fighters in Myanmar using FGC Mk.II 3d printed guns.

        You can make weapons out of hardware store parts

        You can’t make a mill illegal

        You won’t take CNC machines

        Criminals behavior is the crime, not the knowledge or the means

      It’s that or be killed.

      Imagine a 1st grader in an El Salvadorian prison. Then remember that Trump’s staff is full of eugenicists.

    Nobody’s asking the real question: Why are first graders driving unmarked cars to begin with?

    It would be kind of funny if one of the teachers that had a gun because of conservative “arm the teachers to stop shootings!” shot a kidnapper that was trying to take students.
